Yoga Workshops for Athletes in Hartford
Saturday, May 1, 2010
Trinity College
Hartford, CT

Yoga and Running
9:30-11:30 a.m.

In this two-hour session, we’ll examine how yoga and running mesh. Starting with a dynamic yoga warm-up, we’ll see how yoga asana helps us with alignment, strength, and flexibility in running. We’ll also consider yoga’s approach to breath and focus and observe yoga’s effect on the runner’s experience. Learn running-specific core strength and hip stretches to finish.
Come dressed to run, but expect to run no more than a mile or two total. All levels are welcome.

Yoga for All Athletes
1:00-4:00 p.m.

In this three-hour workshop appropriate for all levels of yoga and athletic experience, you’ll learn poses to increase flexibility, especially in the hips and legs; spend some time cultivating sport-specific core strength and playing with balance; and examine yoga as mental training, learning how incorporating this ancient approach can make you a better athlete. No matter what your sport is, you’ll leave with practical ways to incorporate yoga in your training to increase your flexibility, core strength, stability, and physical and mental endurance, while lowering your recovery time and risk of injury. All levels welcome, including beginners.

Check-in will be at Trinity College’s Ferris Athletic Center (Unit D) on Broad Street in Hartford, CT.
Once on campus, we will post signs that will point you in the right direction.
